It took 8 days for the money to be ready after I received the email saying the money is ready. My mom went to the bank, the trip was waste of time. The customer service was bad too. I asked when the money will be ready, they responded to me after three weeks later. I won`t use WorldRemit again.

F- They would not open my account. No explanation was given. I am employed as an official in local county government. I make $180,000 annually and can easily document it. I have an excellent credit rating and I have never had any kind of interaction with law enforcement, EVER. Outrageous.

I opened account being referred by a friend. They questioned me for 30 minutes about my background and the receiver. Worldremit people behaved like I need to beg them to open account. After sending first transaction I received a voucher due to that friend refer offer. Now I want make new transaction and use that voucher but my account is disabled! Don't know why. Very strange company.

Lately this company cancelled two of my transaction without any reason. Worst thing is first it accept credit card on their webpage and after 4-5 days will inform card not acceptable! This happened two times with me. Only answer their customer service will that payment gateway not accepting it and they can't do anything about it. So unsure about the future of my transaction with them anymore. Not using their service now.

I am extremely happy with your service. I did a transfer on 9:30 PM from Belgium to a bank account in Malaysia. The money arrived the day after 4 PM which is less then 19 hours ! You gave a very good value 4,74 ringgit for 1 euro and as it was the first time so i didn't need to pay a commission. Next time i will be glad to pay a commission for such a nice and fast service !!! Go on with the good work. And many thanks for transferring the money so fast !

I would recommend this app to my friends in USA. I transferred amount to India on my Thursday afternoon (EST) and my family received it in India by my early Friday morning (EST). Wish I had referral bonus for my account.

I spend time to register, answer questions, paid for airtime top-up. So far so good. Then a bit later they say "your account is suspended" because I didn't pass some criteria. Why? They can't discuss that !! What a joke. I'm a middle class US citizen in a very good financial standing (excellent credit score, homeowner, no debt). You are saying I'm not good enough to spend $4 to top-up wife's pre-paid phone while she is travelling ?!

Worldremit hold my first transfer and called in the middle of last night! So I called them today morning and after 30 minutes of call .. hold ... check etc. etc. and about 20 questions about the recipient, told they may clear my transfer (excellent!). Maybe they would not do it again during next transfers, but still ... hell of effort to pass their scrutiny as a new user !!!

Terrible customer service and call enquiry dealing. I received an email from a friend asking me to use World remit. I obliged and set up account with all my sensitive info. I proceeded to sending money to my brother abroad and the money was immidiately taken from y account. Only to receive an email from world remit that my account as been disabled and transaction can no longer be carried out. No explanation given. I called customer service and after waiting in queue for 16 min, I was then put on hold again by the representative for another 2 min. He was very rude and shouty on the phone. He basically told me to call my bank to process the refund. My bank sated that it will take a week for the money to be returned to me unless world remit write to their head office stating that the money is no longer needs. All in all, my brother will have to wait a whole week to get the money which he urgently needed this week for medical reasons. Never again will I use world remit.

I use worldremit often, and I suggest them to people as well. I haven't EVER had any issues sending money or receiving money while using this service. A lot of these reviews look and sound fake, I'd make a transfer and see how it works out for you! I love them.

I placed my first reload order today, sending from USA to Philippines... cost me total $12.95 and the phone was loaded within 20 minutes. Not sure about this site though so not giving real transaction ID.

I sent money to my parents in their 80s in Zimbabwe to go straight to my dad's standard chartered account on Monday July 31st I got confirmation saying that the transfer was complete. Up to now nothing has been deposited in my parents account. I was using another company before and a friend put me on to world remit. The cruelty of this is that my complaint and queries have the same response every single time. "Send us a statement." My dad yesterday traveled for over 10 hours to get a statement at the nearest branch and he obviously doesn't have email, so I am now looking for someone who can email the statement for him. My heart is literally breaking , that for a whole month my parents have had no money, this is their day to day cash for the month I was sending. I had no empathy at all from world remit and sometimes I went for a week without a response to my email. I asked if they could ask their agent who claims to have deposited the cash in my dad's account to show them his statement showing the deposit to my dad's account...somehow this apparently is impossible. I haven't slept for a week because I'm so concerned about what my parents are doing for food bills etc. God help me get paid and I will transfer cash to my parents directly, there goes that 500USD. Stay away really if it goes wrong they won't lift a finger to help, and I wonder what the operating laws of this country say about this. I am now finding out if there is an ombudsman I can report this to and maybe the police as well, just going to try what I can to recover some of the money.

Money will be transferred with in 12 to 15 hours only. I will recommend for small amount transfer it is very good. I have a suggestion to worldremit team to improve customer care service ( never pick the calls) to grow in business.

World Remit did a small transaction for me without a problem, i then tried to do a larger transaction to the same person, they held the transaction to do security checks, which included phoning me, they asked numerous questions, then asked me to wait while i listened to music, after about 5 minutes they came back and told me that due to security issues they were cancelling the Transaction, and in addition they would be closing my account.

WARNING; WORLDREMIT CAN LOSE YOUR MONEY AND NOT REFUND IT BACK TO YOU. Users of WorldRemit need to be cautioned that when senders transfer money to receivers through WorldRemit, WorldRemit sometimes loses the money and then does not reimburse the sender for the money that WorldRemit loses. For example, in my case, the receiver did not pick up the money at the destination, so WorldRemit then states that they refund the money back to the sender's account. WorldRemit sent me an email sayng that the money was put back into my bank account, using their Interac service called beanstream. However, when the money did not show up in my bank account, I sent WorldRemit a copy of my bank statement, showing that the refund was not in my bank account. Even with this proof, WorldRemit would not send out the refund to me again, and just sent me emails saying that the refund was successfully refunded, as confirmed by beanstream. I also contacted WorldRemit Customer Service by phone at least 8 times, and Customer Service did not resolve the problem, but only would say that the refund was successfully refunded, as confirmed by beanstream, even when I have emailed my bank statement to WorldRemit, giving proof that the money was not refunded to my bank account. Customer Service also said to check with my bank. I checked the branch manager twice regarding the refund from WorldRemit, and he did some checking, and then stated that the money was not received for my bank account from WorldRemit through beanstream. I should mention that my situation is not unique, and I have come across many other senders on websites who used WorldRemit,, and did not receive a refund back from WorldRemit after WorldRemit lost their money.
